"Here are some hard numbers that refute your point entirely" "Go gently caress yourself" Sounds like normal discourse when it comes to that topic.

The word mansplaining is a great indicator that you're talking to a racist.

Who What Now posted:Gamers ruined gaming Which is funny in light of the fact that so many people blame it on literally everybody else. It's like...OK, so you have this core group of customers who hate everything, can't ever be pleased, and expect to be handed everything for free. That is...not a good target market.

trapped mouse posted:I forget if it was brought up in this thread or not, but somewhere on the internet they do a best game ever poll (I think GameFAQs), and it's pretty boring because basically every year Final Fantasy 7 or Ocarina of Time wins, because these people can't see past their own nostalgia. But last year, it came down between Ocarina of Time and Undertale. Surprise, Undertale wins! Cue massive amounts of nerdrage that the game that wins every year DIDN'T win this year and the implication that no new games should be allowed to win because things were just better in the past. And it basically seems like a lot of people vote for certain games not because it's what they actually personally prefer, but it's what they're told is the "right" answer, and when a lot of people choose the "wrong" answer, it confuses and irritates them to no end. I'd love to see the nerdrage myself, I'm just not sure where to find it. It was talked about in this thread and others. My favorite part was when it was beating Melee, and people cried foul enough for GameFAQs to actually look into the results. Their findings were that there was vote tampering through bots, but they were for Melee. And it still wasn't nearly enough to beat Undertale.

The best thing about this is that UT is basically 8-bit retro aesthetic: the game, which should be right up these people's alley, and still they screech.

SO corny that it hurts. quote:In no way is Undertale better than OoT, in literally no way. This contest is dumb. quote:So tell me, how many bots did you guys spam the polls with then? quote:just another example that Gamefaqs is being trolled by a younger generation who are grossly misinformed. This is like comparing Braveheart to The Hunger Games and saying "Uh... it's more modern...it's better , my generation" No irony at all. God, such a pro-click.

If you're worried about being labeled a creep when you talk to women, you probably are a creep. I love this list. this says "I was in high school in the late 90s/early 2000s, and therefor everything I liked then is the best'. It's also a list of the games that every annoying nerd loves, which makes sense because most annoying nerds are about that age.

The instant you start insisting only X is a real thing, then you reveal yourself to be a fanatic.

Googling shows http://sheekyforums.com/ which looks less like an actual site than the kind you put up with your domain squating. Also it seems like it had something to do with memes and 4chan.

I'm pretty sure Undertale is not the sort of game I'd particularly enjoy, but all the people who hate it make me really want to play it anyway.

It's not worth the ten bucks but if you can get it cheap it's not a bad way to waste a few hours. You might be surprised. Or you might not  I thought it was okay and never played it more than once.

I think the main criterion for whether one should play Undertale is "Do you suck at bullet hell games?" If yes, don't bother, maybe watch one of the myriad let's plays. If no, sure, give it a try. It's cute and endearing.and you get to date a skeleton at one point.

It's not a hard bullet hell either, really. I've been finding Enter the Gungeon way harder than even the hardest Undertale bosses, and I haven't even gotten all that far in. Well, okay. The genocide final boss is a trial, but he's meant to be.

FFVII, a game where various game mechanics just straight up don't work and never did (same as all the other early FFs as well), is truly the best game ever of all time because of gameplay. The game where you can basically mash attack to win unless you feel like breaking the game over your knee because of how hilariously unbalanced and broken the systems are. Truly something Undertale could never aspire to.
